“Valve Corporation has today rolled out their Steam Mac
OS X client to the general public and confirmed something we have
been reporting for two years: the Steam content delivery platform
and Source Engine are coming to Linux. This news is coming days
after we discovered proof in Steam’s Mac OS X Client of Linux
support and subsequently found more Linux references and even the
unreleased Steam Linux client. The day has finally come and Linux
gamers around the world have a reason to rejoice, as this is the
biggest news for the Linux gaming community that sees very few
tier-one titles.“Those enthusiasts within the Phoronix community even managed to
get the unreleased Steam Linux client running up to a partially
drawn UI and other modifications, but now that work can stop as
Valve is preparing to officially release the Steam Linux client
from where they will start to offer Linux native games available
for sale. For all those doubting our reports that Source/Steam
would be coming to Linux, you can find confirmation in the UK’s
Telegraph and other news sites. An announcement from Valve itself
is imminent.”
